"After the match, the referee told me that maybe there was a little contact, but not enough to give a penalty. The ball also moved away from the goal. I didn't feel the contact myself, but after looking at the footage, I saw it. My leg was slightly pinched. I'm grateful he didn't give a penalty, it was the right decision," concluded Ernst.
